What am I doing ricing KDE when I don’t even own a hoodie…

const_void,

Ricing? What’s that?

malijaffri, (edited )

Basically anything in !unixporn

Ricing refers to modifying your system to make it look cool. The term comes from street racing, where it basically meant improving perceived performance using cosmetics like spoilers and hood ornaments and stuff. Mostly form over function.

Also, if you don’t mind visiting, you’ll see more of what I mean over here:

Abnorc,

I dunno, the people in the top left look pretty happy.

drcabbage, (edited )

They do, and judging by their environment, pretty wealthy as well. Plus a happy family. As opposed to being unhinged enough to give finger guns to a laptop or be bombarded with “tech stuff”. Great ad for gnome :)

(I’m just joking around. KDE is great too.)

possiblylinux127,

KDE is fairly unstable and requires me to change settings to make it work for me. Gnome just works

nte,

I really don’t see the worth in hassling with KDE. Theres nothing wrong with GNOME

I used to love Gnome. Now I hate how it looks. Looks like they tried to mix MacOS and Android and just royally botched it.

librechad,

I have been actively using GNOME for about a year now, honestly, it is the best one out of all of the desktop enviorments availible right now. I’m also pretty sure GNOME just got $1M+ to continue working on it. I don’t mind the look, it is very simple.

ExfilBravo,

gnomelook.org

btr_fan87, (edited )

That link is incorrect. Should be gnome-look.org

possiblylinux127,

Well the good news is that you are free to use whatever you want

ILikeBoobies,

I think they nailed it

It’s what a desktop should look like

I wish people wouldn’t downvote comments like this. The downvote button isn’t an “I disagree with you” button and downvoting people just because you disagree with their opinion is silly.

voidMainVoid,

Maybe not for you. For me, I spend hours fiddling with it trying to get it the way I want, get frustrated, and eventually go back to KDE.

voidMainVoid,

GNOME doesn’t even have the settings I need to make it work.

Holzkohlen,

Yo, what? Nobody ever uses Gnome without extensions.

OK that’s not entirely true as I use blur my shell and dash to dock

psud,

That’s such a role reversal. It used to be that gnome couldn’t do half the things KDE could, and was too configurable to be easy

This is more like desktop enviromment vs window manager users

Abnorc,

Are there people that use window managers without using desktop environments? I thought that one is a component of the other.

brisk,

Absolutely, there are a good few window managers designed to be standalone. I use AwesomeWM and i3 is very popular.

If you don’t need a full desktop environment it’s nice to have something that mostly stays out of the way.

prunerye,

I don’t think you need to go full WM-onlyism to find yourself unable to relate to Gnome users. There are probably a handful of KDE users who still use Chrome, but we usually have some shame. We’re not, like, trying to form HOAs in our neighborhoods like Gnome users are, probably.

What does this make Cinnamon users?

nitefox,

It is accurate as you need to waste copius amount of time to get KDE to work without stutter

azerial,

Not my experience.

nitefox,

it is mine though

librechad,

We’re you using the correct drivers for your graphics card?

nitefox,

yes, I was. Also yes, it was a flagship gpu - the 6900 XT. KDE never worked for me, neither with the 1080ti nor the 6900xt… maybe it’s the AMD cpus, idk. Gnome has always been a stable experience though

Instant upvote because KDE is stupid underrated

FMEEE,

I don’t think it’s that underrated. But yah it’s a little underrated.

I like KDE cause it has a cute dragon. GNOME is a stinky foot.

We need a non-binary KDE dragon, it seems.

I always thought the GNOME icon was a indirect meme about Richard Stallman eating something from his toe

qyron,

I’ve run MATE for nearly a decade and am now running XFCE, preparing to jump into a window manager as soon as I get a machine for my exclusive use.

What does that make me?

bpcomp,

You’ve got to XFCE it MATE. It makes you a nerd like the rest of us.

Diplomjodler,

I use Cinnamon. What does that make me?

Me with no DE:

kool_newt,

$ whoevenami

Siegfried,

Cmus play despacito

confusedwiseman,

Why not both? Seriously, why shouldn’t I install both DEs so I can figure out what I like best or suit my mood?

Can’t we actually have it all in this scenario?

ElBarto,
@ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

NO! You must pick a side and fight!

PotatoesFall,

in my experience, installing one breaks the other or at least changes it. it’s a shitshow honestly

EuroNutellaMan,
@EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world avatar

Having both at the same time may break shit. However you can choose a distro like Debian or Arch or any one that just gives you the default DE, customize it to your liking if needed, use it for a set amount of time (like two weeks, a month, whatever) or until you feel like you have a good grasp on it and if you like it, then install another one, uninstall the previous one and repeat until you tried all the DEs you wanted to try or found the one you like and just use that one

kuberoot, (edited )

I do have both installed, Plasma seems better for gaming with performance and experimental features, while GNOME is very stable for work and, ironically, customizes better for my preferences.

EDIT: I use Arch BTW

superbirra,

yeah, my mom uses kde
